Thor's Day Off final presentation


Design:

  • Classic survival action
  • Kill trolls while you wreck Valhalla
Win by killing all the trolls

The game is fun because you get to wreck Valhalla. The furniture is fun to break and run around on while beating on trolls.


Art:

Setting: Valhalla -- Home of the Norse Gods
Atmosphere: Campy
Art Style: Stylized monster, medieval Nordic architecture


Tech:
  • The trolls use moving force-based steering, specifically seek, arrive, flee, and follow-path
  • They find paths to the player using A*
  • Their behavior is governed by a hierarchical state machine
  • Most objects have colliders and use rigid bodies
  • The furniture is breakable via a custom script
  • The lightning uses a custom shader that changes the color to a centered gradient, and changes the blending mode to soft additive
